Cynthia Groopman, Volunteer

 This is a David F's audio interview with Cynthia Groopman--a blind volunteer and poet written up in Newsday for her efforts with the elderly. Among other activities, the newspaper says she "devotes a great deal of time to providing telephone support for homebound seniors who are no longer able to travel" to a senior center. They're exactly the kind of people who, with proper support, could benefit from e-books in traditional and audio forms. As more and more boomers age and lose mobility, our libraries must be ready.
